They did my front and back seats so they should have a pattern for a back seat. I love the Chicayne seats and one day I may put them in the 70.

I’ll post a few pics when I get to the office.

Are the the rear seat pads in your car narrowed for mini tubs? Wondering because TMI has a standard width rear seat pattern but not one for narrowed seats. If your are narrowed I may be able to ask if the can duplicate the dimensions. Thanks.

Rear seat was left stock and worked fine.

Looking back I wish I would have removed the kick panels in the rear and do what Nick did with his red 70. I like how he used the wheel tubs as the interior panel. I still may do that as it looks really nice.

Thanks, looks like I’m going to go with the TMI chicane sport GT seat with matching rear. I took a look at Nick’s 70 and really like it. Just don’t think I have time to do anything too involved if I going to meet my schedule of being ready for the fall goodguys event in Texas.

Okay my sites are back up and here is a good picture of the rear Seat.

I like that they match front and rear seat designs. Looks great. Are your door panels custom?

Do armrests on the door panels clear the tiger cage door bars?

Hey Syborg, not to hijack your discussion but can I inquire about your rear seat belts...specifically how the shoulder straps are anchored and what brand they are? It's exactly what I'm looking for to provide some protection for my boys when riding in my car with the roll bar. Even though the crossbar is removable, I feel it may be just as dangerous hitting the crossbar attachment studs as it would the bar itself in the event of a crash. Thanks

Not to worry at all. Early in the build process Dennis at High Speed Welding welded a crossbar with threaded bungs under the package tray and the 4 point seat belts are from Seat Belt Planet. The best part is they are DOT approved.

If you look back there are pics of the crossbar.

Not sure how my posts ended up in your thread - very sorry

Marty, I've got slip fit at the header collector and v-band clamps right behind the mufflers. It works well though it can be a bear to pull off from the headers since I'm on my back when I do it. But not having to drop the over axle pipes is great. Best part is I can pull them out should I need to without dropping the rear end. I'm dumping my exhaust right behind the wheels too. I recommend something similar while you have your exhaust out.

Good luck!

Been a while but made some progress this weekend. Tail lights installed and made progress on the front.

glassman 08-28-2018 06:47 PM

What headlights are those?
I bought Dapper Lighting, still have'nt put them on, PNA. gonna take 4 hours or so, i might try to get them done before the tour.
My interior and rear seat delete hasn't gone so well. Upholstery was inquired about in May, was told 6 weeks before he could get me in. just after the 4th of july, then it was bring it in on the 20th (i was on vaca, so i screwed that one up) then bring it in the 10th of august, picked it up today, going back in October, with a short fuse.
I'm friends with Nick, his interior is very very nice, especially the rear panels and seats, other than that, pretty much stock, dash, door panels, carpet etc, but very clean....
Now, Marty on the other hand.....:hello:

The headlights are from Dapper. Yah, it took a while to cut open the headlight buckets to make room for the headlamps. Luckily, once you open up the buckets the lights clear the radiator support and bolts in fine.

For interior, I ordered the chicane pro seats from TMI. For the rear I’m still not decided on what to do.

Wow does your car look incredible & I can’t wait to see this car complete.


On a side note I deleted my post that I must have posted in your thread and yes I feel terrible about doing that.

They are powder coated gloss black. The guys at Precision powder coating in Houston did a great job.

The spoiler is from Anvil Auto. The front fit really well and just bolted on; the rear spoiler required quite a bit of work to get it to fit the original factory end caps. I’d recommend getting the anvil center and end caps for the rear. They should fit better together.

Looking for suggestions on glass. I have the original door glass but I’m wondering whether the old glass will match up to a new windshield? Also anyone run Optic Armor? If so does it fit up well or any issues to watch put for? Thanks.

What do you mean by "match up"? colorwise?

I've never heard of Optic Armor, i believe it might be an acrylic product (plexiglass) of some sort. Only problem with those is they dont hold up for drivers. They are on alot of show cars, that do get driven, but longevity is subjective.
I went NOS on my doorglasses, Pilkington classics for the windshield and back glass. And built my own flush mount kit. you can see it here

It’s been a few years since my last post, with all the curves life throws us I’m really happy to be able to get the Camaro out on the road. Still a number of items to sort out but it’s a real joy to drive it!!

Linenoise, car sounds mean. Where are you from....video looks like down south.

linenoise 10-12-2021 03:00 PM

:) thanks man! I been building that thing for years now. when you get near 6 figures of budget spent on these things with out driving it you really get stressed to finally see it drive. Which is where I was when I did that video.
The exhaust is full stainless.
Engine:Texas Speed 427 ls3
Headers are DSE.
3 inch thick walled tubes back to spin tech 3000 Sportsman mufflers.
used the pypes exhaust tail pipes for DSE 9" 5 link rear end installed, they cleared the DSE stainless tank perfectly.
I have thousand + hours in this thing, members on this board have helped me alot, especially Syborg tt. Got his custom battery tray for instance.
Need to do a build thread on here I guess.
I am in Denver btw.
